WIMAX NETWORK, WIMAX NETWORK ELEMENT AND METHOD OF HANDLING QOS

摘要

A method of handling QoS requirements in a wireless communication network (1), wherein a QoS request message (A) associated with said QoS requirements is sent from a core network (2) to an access network (3.1, 3.2) responsible for resource allocation to an end terminal (4, 4') requiring a particular service to a wireless access gateway (9) The proposed method comprises the step of allocating a wireless access gateway (9) at initial authentication of the end terminal (4, 4') while the latter is still connected to the network.
